Based in Angus, Scotland, the Cessford group comprises three associated businesses: R & N Cessford, Angus Horticulture Services Ltd. and Angus Horticulture Ltd.


R & N Cessford comprises farming and haulage enterprises and related activities.  The farm operations primarily involve the growing of cereals and vegetables, and the haulage operations are centred on the transportation of agricultural commodities.  The core activities of Angus Horticulture Services Ltd. are fertiliser blending and packaging prior to distribution to farms throughout Scotland. Angus Horticulture Ltd. manufactures and supplies a range of soil and plant nutrition products, primarily for amenity sports turf requirements, throughout the UK and EU.  The operations of the three businesses are intrinsically connected and each gains benefit from the mutual collaboration and association.


R & N Cessford was created by Raymond and Norah Cessford in 1948.  Their sons, Martin and Bruce, later took over, founded both Angus Horticulture Ltd. and Angus Horticulture Services Ltd., and remain heavily involved to this day.  The ongoing development of the businesses has been supported by many valued employees, some of whom have been with us for decades.  The evolution continues, and the third generation of family members involved in the business is now coming to the fore, with Angus Cessford in the role of Haulage Manager for R & N Cessford, Kerr Cessford in the role of Farm Manager for R & N Cessford, and Naomi Cessford as General Manager of the three businesses.
